Lol, I didn't think you we're ready to "slow down" just, yet!!
You could get the 48 with triple 700's and Arnieson's and still do 90!

That's pretty low hrs for the year. Probably out of my price range, but wouldn't mind seeing some pics of it.

I don't know what the guy had but there is a 38 on Travis that walked by me going 72. He was probably going 75 or 76. Definitely surface drives though. Amazing boat.

Was it a red 38?? There is a red one out there that has Whippled 500's and runs over 80.

How many hours can you reliably put on 700's? In that environment? (mostly slow'ish)

At 50 -60 mph they probably would last forever I would think.
Having a rooster tail behind it would be awesome!
